To stick to the examples, our new enemy needs to patrol the fortress and attack the player on sight. How does the game know what to do with all the raw files it just loaded? How does it know that the mp3 it found is supposed to be an on hit effect, and not background music?Īllow the modder to specify the behaviour and stats of the added objects. Obviously all that raw data does nothing on its own, so we need a way to place that fancy sword in some chest, spawn that new enemy in some fortress or use the new audio as background music. Meshes come in all sorts of formats, too.Īllow the modder to place the loaded content in your game. An image for example might be a png, a jpg or something more exotic like a tga. You'll also have to deal with dozens of data types per file.

But how do you interpret all that data? As far as I know Unity has built in functions to read all kinds of data, like images and sound(?).

Scanning through some sort of mod folder and grabbing all the files is one thing. It's surprisingly complicated, at least for me. The game should be able to load and interpret these files, preferbly with little to no additional effort from the modder. Be it models, animations, images, sound or plain text. To provide a little context, here is a list of things I (and perhaps others) am trying to achieve and the problems and questions I'm facing.Īllow the modder to add raw content to the game.

Or maybe people who already modded other games and can provide perspective? I'd really like everyone who has an idea about how to accomplish proper modding with Unity to chime in. Hopefully there are some people here that can give me and others some insight. That's what I'm trying to do with this post.

Now that the free vs pro thing isn't really a thing anymore, how come there is still so little talk about modding? It's not about me asking some questions anymore, I think with the lack of information and discussion about this topic, it would be really great if we could produce a new Google entry that actually contains useful information. Gees, thanks :DĮven considering these search results, the amount of them was very discouraging, compared to the thousands of results you get if you google anything else Unity related.īack to today. The rest was mostly people saying 'make it data driven'. Most things I found were years old and talked alot about the problem of mixing the free version of Unity with the pro version. I've read just about anything that Google gave me with the keywords 'Unity' and 'modding' and I'm still not really sure what's going on. Turns out Unity isn't the best choice when it comes to modding, at least according to Google. In other words, I'm pretty much starting from scratch here.

Keep in mind though that the only thing I've ever done that is remotely related to modding is loading some mods into Skyrim. Because this way I could program a cool little game and other people could extend it at will. And since I only really know programming I thought modding might be a good topic to delve into. And because time was the main thing holding me back, I figured I'd try something more ambitious. However, now I have a lot more time than I used to have which I'd like to invest in this hobby. I never made anything worth publishing though, being mostly a hobby and all. Over the years I started quite a few projects and tried out a lot of things. After learning C# I discovered Unity, which conveniently uses C# as a scripting language. Hi guys!
